Trumpism is not a protest against how the world works. It is a rejection of the very concept of knowing how the world works. Ignorance is a virtue and knowledge is a vice.

“I wasn’t on the ballot.”
A leader owns the loss. Trump blamed Fox News.
A leader stands by his team. Trump blamed the candidates he hand-picked.
A leader asks what went wrong. Trump says he has no regrets.
Donald Trump is a grifter, not a leader. He's a narcissist, not a statesman. He serves himself, not the nation.
Republicans and Democrats alike must stop treating him like a normal president. Treat him like what he is: a danger to this country and the world.

OH My Goodness... We voted the woman who was in charge of public health in #Ohio during COVID, who did what was necessary, even under breaking pressure not to, in charge of veto power for health related legislation in Ohio and killed Ohio's supermajority legislative branch while at it. #Disabled people rejoice! #Ohio #USPol

"Montgomery’s win flips the Huntsville-area seat from a Republican incumbent to a Democrat.

Montgomery was outspent by a wide margin and faced attacks on her gender identity during the campaign."
“No one wins a historic realignment election because inflation is slightly above trend. The public wants an end to the scourges of tyranny. Deliver it.”

Anybody who ever had anything bad to say about the people of Texas and Texas as an existence based on what the POLITICIANS of Texas were doing...... and it's most of you ..... y'all have some fucking APOLOGIZING to do today.
We have completely changed the game.
Republicans have no path without Texas. None.
A trillionaire couldn't stop it.
Hateful ads couldn't stop it.
Gerrymandering couldn't stop it.
Voter suppression couldn't stop it.
The people of Texas had their day.
Let's go!
Let's remember which billionaires lined up behind Trump and how they tried to buy influence. Elon Musk dropped nearly half a billion dollars. Jeff Yass, the Uihleins, Ken Griffin. They all poured hundreds of millions into Republican campaigns, betting their money could carry him through.
They were betting on permanence. On staying in the president's good graces. On power protecting its own.
Well, the winds shifted today. Democrats took the Senate. Won the House. Flipped governorships in Texas, Georgia, Ohio, and Iowa. Voters sent a clear message about what happens when wealth concentrates political access.
Power flows to where voters send it. Not to where billionaires write checks. Remind them of that.
@AlliFlowers The Democrats can’t squander this. They must grab the bull by the horns and aggressively move in a manner that benefits the majority quickly. First is stop Rule By Malfeasance and the flow of cash into Humpty’s pocket. Yes stick with Ukraine! Real in Israel! But 1st and foremost, we must get our own house in order, PERIOD. We must neutralize the primary threat at our throats. This must happen. I don’t see fascists giving up so easily.
@Huntn00 From your lips to god's ears. Let's start with Todd Blanche though. Low hanging fruit. 😉
@AlliFlowers Did not want any premature excitement getting dashed. I purposely left the TV off till now, and HOLY SHIT, TEXAS! 💥🎆 💃🕺🏻
After 30 years of living under Texas Republican oppression, we will now be living in a blue Texas.
Thanks, Donald Trump, and thank all my fellow non-voting Texans for waking up and voting appropriately.
Now let's send Paxton to jail where he belongs!
